Microwave Door Handle Broken

This repair is simple if you know what needs to be done. In my particular case, only the top screw was exposed from the inside of the microwave door. In order to get to the bottom screw, I had to pry the thin, rectangular trim away from the door. A thin, hard pry blade works good for this. Once you get one corner free, the rest of it pulls off pretty easily. I removed both screws, replaced the handle with the new one and secured the new one with the old screws. The new handle does NOT come with new screws, so you will need to buy new ones if you don't have the screws from the previous handle. Overall, it was a very simple fix worth doing yourself.

broken handle at lower screw

Opened door, partially removed inner frame holding window in place by carefully sliding a small putty knife along outer edge of frame.This was the key to get to lower screw. This frame is held in place by plastic nubs on frame.. Be careful.Removed upper and lower screws holding handle and replaced old handle with new one using same screws. Reset frame by gently pushing it back in place.

The door handle broke at the at the point where the handle screws to the door

Unscrewed the top screw from indide the door panel. To remove the lower screw I had to gently separate the square seal which goes on the inside door panel. Once I removed the two screws, I could attach the new handle, put the lining back and the job was done.

The new part did not come with new set of screws. It should have!!

light worked, timer and control pad worked, but no turntable, no heat, no noises of any sort, just didn't start up

Noted on partselect.com that someone else with this problem, found it to be secondary door switch. There are three door switches in this model, but online info noted that one of the three might feel "soft" (in my case, one switch clicked in a rather "jiggly" way, the other two were strong decisive clicks.) To access the door switches on this model was the only difficult part. First use a torx bit to remove the two torx screws below the latches inside the microwave. This frees the latching part inside, that holds the door switches, which you will remove after you take off the control panel. The top grill has to come off before you can remove the door panel. Remove the screws above the grill, on the microwave top cover, The grill on this model is covered with a panel that moves out when it vents. After removing the two top screws, the covered grill vent slides left to remove. Be careful, as the sliding tabs are plastic. Wiggle and jiggle it, to slip it off. Below the removed grill, is a small metal grill with one screw in lower center. Remove that screw, and wiggle that out. You'll then see the one screw that holds on the control panel. Remove this screw, and lift the control panel up to remove. Again, go slowly and gently, as the bottom tabs holding the control panel in, are also plastic and easily broken. Lay the control panel on something, (I used the coffee maker) and pull out the wire bundles tucked on the left, that are attached to the latching panel. Wiggle the latching panel gently to lift it up off of it's plastic tabs and pull it out towards you, so you can see the three door switches. Each switch (part number WB24X829) has a little black switch on it. Feel each switch with either your finger, or a screwdriver to see which one doesn't "click" strongly. The weak one is the one you will replace. The door switches are fitted into a tab, and plugged into their wires. Remove the defective switch, pull out the wires, and replace it with the new switch, plugging back the wires, and slipping it back into it's plastic tabs. Then put everything back together in reverse order. The entire job took me fifteen minutes EXCEPT for figuring out how to slide off the upper grill, which I have told you. A repairman would have cost $150, the part was $18. AND, there's a good chance, the other two switches will get "used up" in the next year or so as well, so I'll be ready next time. Thank you, Partselect, why work all day, to make money, only to give it to somebody else, for fifteen minutes of work. All I needed was the knowledge.

Above the stove mounted microwave. I dropped the lens cover from under the bulb and tried to remove the bulb. The bulb separated from the base. I tried to remove the base with a pliers and the lamp socket broke. I ordered the parts and dropped the bottom cover of the unit down (5 screws). Removed 1 screww from the lamp socket, unplugged the wires and took it out. Simply replaced socket, fastened bottom cover of microwave, installed new bulb and closed lens cover.

Broken Door Handle

First I removed the upper handle screw. In order to get to the second screw holding the bottom of the handle, I removed the inner door window seal with a putty knife then removed the second screw. I installed the new handle, attached the screws and replaced the seal and that's all there was to it. The whole repair was done in 2 minutes.

Plastic handle broke off at the bottom

Removed one screw on the inside of the door, upper left hand corner. With a small knife,lifted the small plastic seal around the inside glass. Removed the 2nd screw at the bottom left on the inside of door. Attached the new handle with the two screws, replaced the plastic seal on the inside and it was ready to go. Simple and took less than 10 minutes. No service call or repairman required. Reviewing the comments at your website was very helpful to get started. Thanks for a great deal! Chuck in Harrisburg,PA

plastic handle to over-range microwave broke and need to be replaced

Firts removed the phillips head screw securing the door handle on the inside top of the microwave door. Then used putty knife to dislodge the plastic surrounding the window on the back of the microwave door...thus uncovering the 2nd screw that holds the bottom of the plastic door handle. Removed the 2nd screw. Removed the broken handle. Put the replacement handle in position and secured with the two phillips head screws. Pressed the plastic back in place around the door window. Voila! It's done. Took about 10 minutes
